Loving Formula X for Sephora ~ #Review

The past few years I have been enjoying painting my nails.  I can do the basic two coats nail polish and on the odd occasion, simple nail art design.  Even though I had been an art student, I have always had two left thumbs.  However I think it is still fun to play with new nail products and maybe discover something I can do in a jiffy.

Dippity-do’s Girls with Curls ~ #Review & #Giveaway

I know curls are sometimes a pain to work with, regardless if you have natural wavy, curly, or permed hair.  Half the battle is finding the perfect product to help you to manage your hair.  The most common issue I had when I had my hair permed or curl with an iron is the frizz.  My hair would go poof and my hair is everywhere and unmanageable.  Dippity-do have come to the rescue and launched Girls with Curls hair product line.

Loving Dial New Products ~ #Review

I have been using body washes for years.  It makes washing time fast and quick.  My daughters have been using body washes from day one.  I doubt I had used a bar of soap on them before.  They love to play with the soap suds from the body wash.  Dial has become one of my go to brands for my body care needs.

Littlest Pet Shop: Strike A Pose ~ #Review & #Giveaway

My daughter loves Littlest Pet Shop.  If she had it her way, she would try to collect all the toys.  Last month we attended an annual garage sale and my daughter wished they had Littlest Pet Shop.  We told her we will have too wait and see what they have.  Lo and behold, she came across a box full of Littlest Pet Shop plus a carrying case.  She was ecstatic.  We have even installed an app on my ipod touch and iphone and she is always asking to play it.  Both of my daughters and I enjoyed watching Littlest Pet Shop: Strike A Pose.  I really like the songs, they are quite catchy.  Be prepared to watch this DVD over and over again.  They can't wait for another release of the next Littlest Pet Shop.

LaCoupe Orgnx's Coconut and Macadamia Oil ~#Review

I have always been a big fan of coconut...long before the coconut craze.  My co-workers know how much I go gaga over coconut.  One of my co-workers brought in a bag of treats to share and one of the girls was looking through it to see what kind of chocolate was in the bag.  When she found Almond Joy (Its like a Bounty with an almond on top) she automatic knew that it had my name written on it.  She was so sweet and gave it to me right away.  If coconut scent or flavour was one of the choices, you bet that I would choose it over the others selection.  When I heard LaCoupe organx launched coconut and macadamia oil line I was jumping for joy and couldn't wait to try it.

#ImpressManicure Influenster VoxBox ~ #Review

Once again I came home to my Influenster VoxBox before I received a message to say I was getting one.  I love these nice surprises.  The box contained two beautiful Impress nails by Broadway Nails.  They are so easy to put on.  Follow the simple instructions - peel and stick and you will be done in seconds.  They stick on really well and they wont easily come off unless you rip them off - literally.  They need to be stuck on really good or they will be flying off your nails just because you opened the door.



Swissli Muesli Cereal ~ #Review & #Giveaway

My family are big cereal eaters but I think it is mostly me anyways.  My pantry and my desk at work always have cereal ready to be eaten.  They are quick, easy, and healthy to eat any time of the day.  It does not have to be eaten in the mornings.  I have also eaten them for dinner.  My favourite cereals lately are filled with seeds, dried fruits, and nuts.  Since you know how much I like NuTerra Granola you can bet your horses that I also like their Swissli Muesli cereal.

24Clearit Winners ~ #Review

Getting through our teenage years is bad enough - then adding bad acne makes it even worse.  Twenty plus years later we are still getting acne.  It is a never ending battle.  There is a new product line called 24clearit that was launched last year and back in February/March 2014 I hosted a giveaway where two lucky readers would write a review for the product.  This is what they said about trying 24clearit for about a month:

Hallmark Mother's Day Gift Ideas ~ #Review

When Easter has ended, we are all geared up for Mother's Day.  I think it should be a national holiday.  Being a mom is learning to juggle and hoping nothing will drop.  There is always an endless list of things to do and we can only do so much in a day.  So many times the laundry and dishes get left undone because they are always the last in my list.  I believe most mothers will agree with me that we put our kids first.  We are the caregiver, the teacher, the provider, a role model, and the rock that keeps the family together.  I doubt there is nothing I would do for my little girls like what my mother did for me when growing up.  To show our appreciation to our Mother's, Hallmark has a few ideas to help us to prepare for the day.

The Body Shop Shower, Spritz & Moisture Set in Moringa ~ #Review

This Mother's Day has caught me by surprise.  I can't believe it is already this coming weekend.  Tax Season has always been a whirl wind time for me.  This year they extended the deadline to May 5th which felt like it was still April.  I'm not sure what plans we will have for my mom but it is most likely taking her out for lunch.  If you are still looking for a Mother's Day gift, take a look at The Body Shop.  They have usually have the ideal gift for Mom.

Love Art Fair (May 7-11, 2014) ~ #Event & #Giveaway

Love Art?  I have always been a fan of art.  Back in high school I took art class all the way to OAC/Grade 13 (extinct).  Was I any good?  No, not by a long shot but I did enjoy art.  It was a class where I could enjoy and have fun.  The majority of my high school friends were art students as well.  Only a few of them continued into the arts program.  The only place I knew to enjoy art work was at the AGO.  The gallery has some of my favourite art pieces.  Sometimes don't you just wish you could own a piece of art because a certain piece just draws you in.  We all think there is no way we can afford it but it turns out we can.

Lovable Labels Teacher Gift Set ~ #Review

I can't believe it is already May.  Less than two more months of school and the kids are off.  It has been heck of a school year with crazy winter, lots of pizza lunches, and occasion homework assignments.  I consider my daughter's current teacher is so far one of the best.  I wish my daughter could have her ever  year until she finishes elementary.  I know the teachers once in a while shuffle teaching different grades so maybe my daughter might have her again.  She is great and very understanding and supportive.

Sassy Canada Bath Toys ~ #Review & #Giveaway

Every since I had kids, I had a collection of bath toys in my bathroom.  There are toys from 7 years ago that my kids use when they have a bath.  After their shower, they love to sit in the tub for 15 mins to play in the water all year long.  Sometimes in the summer they want to stay in there longer.  I had to drag them out because they were turning into into prunes.  If you are looking to purchase bath toys for your kids or as a gift.  Check out Sassy Toys bath toys.  All Sassy toys are designed to foster a baby / child’s brain development. The toys especially focus on the senses.
